Hi Brian
I have to admit, I can't offer any help as far as value for these baseballs since I don't collect autographs, but the auction is going to be set up so that each baseball will have a bid sheet assigned to it.
Bidders will write their name and bid down on the sheet for whatever ball they are interested in. If another bidder is willing to donate(bid) more, they can cross out the previous bidder's name and write in their higher bid. Some balls may get bids in $5 increments or some may only get bumped $1. I'm just asking for a member's maximum bid so that I know when to stop bidding. So no one's name but mine will appear on the bid sheets.
Keep in mind all the baseballs were donated for free and any money raised will be appreciated, no matter how high or low the final price is. There isn't a targeted price for any baseball, just what anyone is willing to donate.
The auction is being held during a high school boys basketball game, so it won't be like there will be a gymnasium full of collectors in attendance.
Also, I should have stated in my initial post that I won't be bidding on any of these baseballs. I'm doing my part by picking up the shipping for you guys & gals.
Hope this helps
Jantz
